Gege Akutami’s Warning to Fans About Jujutsu Kaisen’s Tragic Event

Jujutsu Kaisen’s dark plot twists have left the fandom in shambles, but Gege Akutami had already warned fans about the direction of his story.

In this world, negative emotions accumulate and manifest into cursed spirits that pose a threat to the safety of the people. Jujutsu sorcerers bravely put their lives on the line to combat these curses.

Despite efforts to combat them, curses remain an ever-present threat as long as humanity exists. The series is known for its brutal narrative, featuring traumatized characters and gruesome deaths. Caution: This article includes spoilers for Chapter 261, which has yet to be released.

According to leaked information for Chapter 261, the upcoming chapter will introduce the darkest plot twist yet in the series: Yuta will use Kenjaku’s technique to take over Gojo’s body. As the sorcerers struggle to defeat the King of Curses, they are determined to prevent Yuta from succumbing to this path.

Despite the shocking plot twist and the fandom’s worries over Gojo’s tragic fate, Yuta is left with no choice but to bear Gojo’s burden alone. In light of this, a comment from Gege made a few years ago has resurfaced.

Myamura, a well-known Jujutsu Kaisen fan account on X/Twitter, posted an image of a comment made by Gege Akutami. In the comment, Akutami mentions watching a video of himself laughing hysterically and being surprised by how demonic he looked. He then adds that he hopes readers will enjoy his first graphic novel, which features a similar type of character.

Gege Akutami’s notoriety stems not only from his tendency to kill off characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, but also from his daring choices in their ultimate fates. Among these, Gojo’s death has sparked the most debate among fans. Despite their persistent hope for his return, Gege definitively closes the door on any possibility of Gojo’s resurrection in a particularly grim manner.
